NEW YORK -- Wednesday represented a unique opportunity for contenders around Major League Baseball. With an 11:59 p.m. trade deadline, one last opportunity presented itself to add to a club--and have new players be eligible for the postseason roster--before the crucial games of September arrived.

Here's a look at which teams and players won and lost in baseball's final trade deadline of 2016:

Then--likely to replace what Gamel could have brought to an expanded roster in September--Cashman landed ex-Mets utility man Eric Young Jr. in a trade. Expect to see Young Jr.'s speed on display in the Bronx down the stretch.

Orioles: Baltimore general manager Dan Duquette has made a habit of making August trades to acquire depth for stretch runs to the postseason. One of baseball's most active teams didn't disappoint on Wednesday.

Indians: Coco Crisp isn't close to a Michael Brantley replacement, but the ex-Indian (and Terry Francona pupil in Boston) has played through pennant races and always had a knack for hitting good pitching.

Official: Indians get OF Coco Crisp and cash from A's for Minor Leaguer LHP Colt Hynes. Crisp will join team Thurs, added to roster Fri.

Yaisel Puig: The controversial ex-star was still part of the Dodgers organization when the deadline passed on Wednesday evening. Now we'll find out if the team brings him back to the big leagues for a pennant race or lets him languish in Triple-A until an offseason decision is made.

White Sox: As usual, the White Sox stood pad. Perhaps a rebuild will commence over the winter, but it's surprising to see relief pitcher David Robertston on this team through both the August 1 and 31 deadlines.
